In the latest season of Project Grow, we talk to experts about the challenges of growing a business.

Women own nearly a third of all businesses, but bring in only 4 percent of all U.S. revenue.

Some women have purposely kept their businesses small to manage their families, she says. Women are increasingly realizing that with a bigger entreprise, they can better lead the life they want, she says.
